Smokers May Experience A Wider Range Of COVID-19 Symptoms Than Non-Smokers, New Findings Show

New research from King's College London investigated whether there is a link between smoking and COVID-19 severity by analyzing data from a self-reporting ZOE COVID Symptom Study app. Earlier, preliminary studies suggested smoking may have a protective effect on COVID-19 severity, but many experts had doubts, and question marks remained.
The new study, published in the journal Thorax, suggests smokers have an increased risk of developing COVID-19 symptoms and are more likely to attend hospitals compared to their non-smoking counterparts.
The authors of the study took data from the ZOE COVID app between March 24 and April 23, 2020, and assessed the outcomes of 2,401,982 participants that self-reported symptoms. Out of the total, 11 percent, were smokers.
Of the participants in the study, a third of them reported feeling physically unwell during this month-long period. However, the smokers were 14 percent more likely to report the classic triad of COVID-19 symptoms – persistent cough, shortness of breath, and fever – compared to their non-smoking counterparts.
Furthermore, smokers were also more likely to report additional symptoms associated with a COVID-19 infection. Smokers were 29 percent more likely to report up to five known COVID-19 symptoms, and 50 percent more likely to report more than 10 symptoms. The authors of the study said that having more of the additional COVID-19 symptoms, such as loss of smell, muscle pain, diarrhea, etc suggested smokers experienced a wider range of symptoms than non-smokers and hence had a more severe COVID experience.
"Some reports have suggested a protective effect of smoking on COVID-19 risk. However, studies in this area can easily be affected by biases in sampling, participation, and response. Our results clearly show that smokers are at increased risk of suffering from a wider range of COVID-19 symptoms than non-smokers," said Dr Mario Falchi, one of the authors of the study, in a press release.
Interestingly, those smokers in the study who had a confirmed COVID-19 positive test were two times more likely to attend hospital than their non-smoking counterparts.
"As rates of COVID-19 continue to rise and the NHS [UK health service] edges towards capacity, it's important to do all we can to reduce its effects and find ways to reduce hospital admissions. Our analysis shows that smoking increases a person's likelihood to attend hospitals, so stopping smoking is one of the things we can do to reduce the health consequences of the disease," lead author Dr Claire Steves concluded.

10 Things You Didn't Know About Jimmy Kimmel
By Katherine G	In	Celebrities on November 7, 2016
The 8 Best "Celebrities Read Mean Tweets" On Jimmy Kimmel
7 Most Iconic Moments For Jon Stewart and The Daily Show
Rob Latour/REX/Shutterstock
James Kimmel, more commonly known as Jimmy Kimmel, is one of the most well-recognized faces on television because of his widely popular late-night talk show, Jimmy Kimmel Live! The ABC host, producer, writer and comedian has been cracking jokes and interviewing celebrities since 2003 when the show was first introduced and since then he's been on a steady climb to success. He's hosted the Primetime Emmy Awards not once, but twice, done cameos in numerous films and was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame! He's turning 50 soon, so we've compiled a list of 10 things you probably didn't know about the hilarious host, Jimmy Kimmel!
10. He's a Really Good Artist
If Jimmy Kimmel didn't go into radio after high school, he would have been an artist! In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, he said he always figured he would be an artist growing up, but when he started watching late night television while drawing, he fell in love with late-night hosts like Johnny Carson and David Letterman. "I always gravitated towards drawing funny things. Maybe I would have done political cartoons or something. I did do a little of that when I was a kid because I'd see them. I'd draw the presidents but I was never great at it…I always thought I'd be an artist, but I started watching late-night television while I was drawing. I'd watch Johnny [Carson] and then Dave [Letterman] and then NBC News Overnight and Bob Costas," said Kimmel.

9. Bought His Parents a House
Jimmy Kimmel is an extremely generous man, especially now that he's got lots of fortune to share. In an interview with his parents, his father told a story about how his son bought them a house near the beach. "[In 2006], we're in Hermosa Beach. We're supposed to go for dinner with the family but he tells us that we're going to go over to some park first and my great-nephew is going to play t-ball…My nephew Sal was there with his family and he said, 'Aw, it got called off, the weather was windy.' Jimmy said, 'What are we going to do? We've got a couple of hours to kill before dinner at eight o'clock.' So, he turned around and there were these townhouses and an open house sign…While we're upstairs, we happened to look at the fireplace and over the fireplace was a picture of Joan and I in Italy. We looked at each other and he looked at us and then we started crying," Jimmy's father said. Kimmel said he bought them the house because when he was a kid there was a memory that stuck with him of his parents stating they wanted a house near the beach. So when he could afford to give that to them, he did. How sweet!
8. Attracted to Funny Women
In an interview with Rolling Stone, Kimmel said he's "always been attracted to funny women," and his dating history is proof of that! Prior to marrying Molly McNearney, the co-head writer at Jimmy Kimmel Live!, Kimmel had a long-term relationship with fellow comedian, Sarah Silverman. They started dating in 2002 not long after he divorced his first wife, Gina Maddy, who he shares two children with, Kevin and Katherine. Kimmel and Silverman dated for five years but broke up in July 2008. They briefly rekindled their romance when they both attended Howard Sterns wedding to Beth Ostrosky but were broken up again by March 2009. The two of them have managed to remain close friends and he even brought her on his show as a guest in 2014. In October 2009, he started dating another woman with a good sense of humor, Molly McNearney. They were engaged in 2012, married in 2013 and now share one child together, a daughter named Jane.
7. He Can Play the Bass Clarinet
Not only is Jimmy Kimmel really good at being a hilarious comedian up on stage, he's also a bit of a musician! He started playing the bass clarinet as a kid in middle and high school and he can still play pretty well today! He's actually gone up on stage with the band, The Mighty Mighty Bosstones, and played their hit song "The Impression That I Get" on more than one occasion. There's even proof in a clip up on YouTube from one instance at the House of Blues in Los Angeles! He's also showcased his skills on the Jimmy Kimmel Live! show more than once.
6. He's a Good Cook
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, he talked about his love for food and cooking. "I love cooking, I like talking about cooking, I love chefs and a lot of my friends are chefs, and I just like that kind of culture and lifestyle." Food is definitely a big part of his life and his interest comes in handy when it comes to running the household with his wife and their daughter: "My wife and I each have our specialty areas in the kitchen; she usually makes a salad and dessert, and I'll cook everything in the middle. I have a wood-fired pizza oven in my backyard, so I'll make pizzas. I make the dough and oftentimes made the mozzarella out of curd. I'll make fresh pasta and roll it out and everything. But my real specialty is having nothing in the house and scratching something together. That's when I really shine," he said. He even went on to say that he likes doing laundry and vacuuming too! Sounds like Kimmel is the whole package!

5. He's Been Fired…A Lot
After graduating from Arizona State University with a degree in broadcast, he landed a series of radio jobs, but was subsequently fired from them all! It started with a radio job in Phoenix which he was fired from, then he moved to Seattle, then Tampa, but he was laid off from those as well. Finally, he was hired in Palm Springs, then moved to Tucson and was fired after working there for less than a year. "They'd tell me they wanted me to be edgy, but they didn't actually want to get phone calls from people complaining, and from sponsors cancelling," said Kimmel. According to him, he would constantly be mouthing off on air and to his bosses, making rude remarks and would parody songs by insulting public figures. He could draw an audience, but he always left them feeling angry. The only job that stuck after a series of firings was a position doing sports roundup on Los Angeles behemoth KROQ, which later lead to his TV gig on Comedy Central co-hosting Win Ben Stein's Money.
4. Altar Boy
Kimmel was raised in an extremely Catholic household and still sees himself as extremely religious today. In an interview with Rolling Stone magazine, he said, "I don't understand atheism., I don't know how anyone could be sure there isn't a God." When he was a little kid he was an altar boy at their family church and, in a hilarious skit with George Clooney, the two of them reminisce about the past when they were altar boys. "I was pretty good, although I would sometimes fall asleep during mass and I would yawn, and I have a huge mouth, and I of course didn't cover it and my parents would go nuts," said Kimmel.
3. He Likes Shoe Shopping
Kimmel's wife once said in an interview that she's never met a man who is so feminine and so masculine at the same time. Kimmel loves to do things that the stereotypical man wouldn't like, such as cooking, cleaning, crafting little gifts and even shoe shopping! He told Glamour magazine in an interview that he is very proud of the fact that he can successfully shop for shoes and handbags for his wife: "I've never been good at buying clothing for the women in my life, but somehow over the last few years, I've figured out shoes. And it delights me to no end when I find shoes that I think my daughter and wife will like, and they actually do! I recently sent my wife an email with a link to a purse to see if she thought it was cool. So these are the things we discuss. To be honest, it drives her crazy, but I can't help myself," he said.
2. Narcolepsy
The TV host and comedian has been pretty open about his narcolepsy diagnosis. He even penned an essay for the August 2003 issue of Esquire titled, "What It Feels Like To Have Narcolepsy," where he joked that it was the best thing to ever happen to him! "Truth be told, I'd rather have narcolepsy than not have it. When I get on a flight to Vegas, I'll fall asleep before the plane takes off and wake up after it's landed. I'm always very close to sleep," he wrote. He also added that his case is extremely mild: "I have a pretty mild case with no other symptoms. Some narcoleptics experience cataplexy, which is a limpness in the arms and legs. I don't have that. I'd like to though. It sounds great."
1. Hates Exercise
Jimmy Kimmel lost a lot of weight in 2010 after he bought a scale and started keeping track of his weight. The way he lost weight was rather strange. He calls it the 5:2 diet because he'll eat fewer than 500 calories a day from Monday through Thursday, but then eat anything he wants the rest of the week. Kimmel refuses to exercise — in fact, he absolutely hates it! "The idea that you would not only exercise, but that you would enjoy it is very difficult for me to understand. I just hate it….I do have a treadmill desk in my office, and for a while I would walk on it while checking email and going through jokes. I haven't walked on it in probably four months. Now it's more of an upright dining table for me," said Kimmel.

Education bus hits the road for the 6th straight year
Education, Free to Learn, Good Government, Yankee News
The Parent Express – a party bus loaded with education materials, books, and volunteers – took to the road on Wednesday to visit school children and parents in 10 different cities and promote the joys of learning for both children and their parents.
The annual bus tour run by the Connecticut Parents Union – an education advocacy group – is staffed with high school volunteers who dress up as movie characters and distribute children's books donated by various companies, like Scholastic.
President of CTPU Gwen Samuel says the bus is all about delivering a positive message to children and parents about the importance of education.
"Literacy equals liberation," Samuel said. "The goal is for our children to be free to learn, to create healthy environments to learn and grow."
The bus has reached more than 4,700 children and 600 parents to date, according to Samuel, and stops at schools across the state from Waterbury to New London, focusing on poor-performing school districts.
A positive message about education may be just what the state needs right now. Connecticut's schools have been under a legal microscope for the past decade, following two major court decisions.
In its 1996 Sheff v. O'Neil decision, the Connecticut Supreme Court ruled that racial segregation in the Hartford school system violated students' constitutional rights prompting the city to build a number of magnet schools.
The success of those magnet schools has been in dispute lately, after a report found that some of the best Hartford magnet schools had empty seats because the school could not meet racial quotas, leaving Hartford students in failing schools.
A state audit also found that magnet school officials were bypassing the lottery system to admit particular students, particularly star athletes.
More recently, Superior Court Judge Thomas Moukawsher ruled that Connecticut's education funding formula was "irrational" and needed to be revised. The judge's decision was the result of a lawsuit by the Connecticut Coalition for Justice in Education Funding.
Although Connecticut is home to a large number of very good schools, it is also home to one of the largest student achievement gaps in the country, largely split along the lines between low-performing city schools and high-performing schools in suburbs.
State budget challenges added to school financing pressures this year when the legislature had to close a multi-billion budget deficit.
Even though the legislature did not cut funding to most schools, it didn't increase the funding either. Rising costs at the municipal level mean that although most schools were not cut, they would still have to do more with less.
However, after passage of the budget, Gov. Dannel Malloy cut $91 million in state municipal aid because the budget required him to find $182 million in state spending cuts. The reduction affected every school municipality in the state.
But Samuel and the CT Parents Union kept their six-year tradition of delivering a positive message alive by bringing the Parent Express to schools and children across Connecticut.
"Everything here is a message," said Samuel. "It's positive reinforcement. We show the importance of investment in our children. We show them they can be anything they want to be."

I liked this song because of the lyrical content. I wrote it after I heard an interview with Sting. When he was asked what his next project is? He said that he didn't know yet but he always liked to go the opposite way to what he knew. He said that when he did this, the new experience for him is always fresh, exiting and he learned more. Very interesting to me..
The musical style here is influenced by Andrew Lloyd Webber Jesus Christ Superstar. I had to do some searching and I found the piece of music that stuck with me in all of his music which is called 'Pilates dream'. A small dittie from Jesus Christ superstar. I tried to write a full song to expand on Andrew Lloyd Webbers 'Pilates dream' but it ended up like Ben Folds Five song 'Mess' which is also up there with some of the best Independent music out there..
It's a style that I had never entertained before. I played all the parts into my beloved TS10 composer keyboard, then the bass and drums were replaced by proper musicians!

Esther B. Feb 06 .
The best prom dress store!!!
Lola N. Jan 16 .
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! Before going to Exclusively You Bridal, I went to another wedding dress store just down independence. That store was horrible and barely had anything to go with their dresses, but here at Exclusively You Bridal and Formal, I found not just the most perfect dress, but also many other accessories to go with it. Thank you for all your help girls!!!
Rosalie K. Jan 10 .

Trisha E. Nov 23 .
The dress I found here is literally the dress of my dreams. I am so happy that I found it and how easy it was. I was super nervous about finding the right one. A friend of mine referred me over to Exclusively You and they were right! The staff is really helpful and I know for a fact they have the best selection of dresses here!
I love my wedding dress!
Gracie N. Sep 21 .
I'm a bridesmaid helping a bride pick her dress and after our shopping experience, I have to say Exclusively You took the cake. The boutique has a great selection and the staff works very hard to help you find styles that you like. They were professional and make the entire experience feel very special. They had some designer dresses that were very similar in style to ones we saw elsewhere, but the ones here were better quality and value. I'm definitely coming back to buy my own wedding dress!
joyce h. Aug 29 .
I love love love love love the selection of dresses here. I was worried I would not be able to find the right one for my wedding, even looked at a few other places, but it only took one time at this bridal shop for me to find EXACTLY what I was looking for. The girls there are so helpful and really were there to help me find what I needed. VERY IMPRESSED - WILL BE SENDING MY FRIENDS.
Jeremy L. Aug 15 .
Hands down one of the best wedding dress stores in Charlotte NC. My daughter is so happy she found the wedding dress she wanted at Exclusively You Bridal. She had been looking at other bridal shops for the past few weeks and was starting to get frustrated. I always go on referrals and someone mentioned Lisa's shop at Exclusively You Bridal. I told my daughter to go down and check it out - she is estatic that she found the dress she wanted. Exclusively You Bridal is also part of a new business called the Charlotte Bridal Market - my daughter was able to work with each person there, one is a DJ and another does dress alterations. She really was able to get everything she wanted all in one place and for that we are both satisfied.
If you've been to or used Exclusively You Bridal & Formal, leave a review.

YVES FOREVER: Catherine Deneuve still has chills when she thinks about designer Yves Saint Laurent's last show, held at the Centre Pompidou on Jan. 22, 2002.
"It was an extremely difficult moment for everyone involved," said the French actress, speaking to journalist Loïc Prigent during a talk given at Christie's Paris, where Deneuve will be putting her Yves Saint Laurent collection up for auction on Jan. 24.
Photos from that evening show Saint Laurent gripping Deneuve's hand. Prigent asked the actress how the designer had reacted once his very last show was over.

This collection is made up of correspondence, letter books, and transcriptions by rare book dealer and bibliographer Henry Stevens. The material primarily concerns his work obtaining books for prominent private collectors and libraries in the United States in the mid-19th century.
Donated, 1934-1954. M-228, M-230, M-249, M-250, M-950, M-2535.
Cataloging funded by the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC). This collection has been processed according to minimal processing procedures and may be revised, expanded, or updated in the future.
The Correspondence and documents series is arranged by correspondent and subject.
Henry Stevens was born in Barnet, Vermont, on August 24, 1819, the son of Henry Stevens, Sr., and Candace Salter. He attended several academies and preparatory schools before matriculating at Middlebury College in 1838. In 1840, he left for Yale College; he received a bachelor's degree in 1843 and an honorary master's degree ( in absentia ) in 1846. Stevens worked for Peter Force for two years, identifying and copying historical books and manuscripts. He left for London, England, in 1845. In London, he established himself as a dealer of rare books and manuscripts, and his clients included prominent collectors such as James Lenox and John Carter Brown.
On February 25, 1854, Stevens married Mary Newton Kuczynski, a widow, and they had one son, Henry Newton Stevens (b. June 7, 1855). Henry Stevens died on February 28, 1886. In 1885, Henry Newton Stevens became a partner in his father's firm, then called Henry Stevens & Son, and in 1895 Robert E. Stiles joined the firm, which then became Henry Stevens, Son and Stiles.
This collection is made up of correspondence, letter books, and transcriptions by rare book dealer and bibliographer Henry Stevens and his company. The material primarily concerns his work obtaining books for prominent private collectors and libraries in the United States in the mid-19th century.

Seven items in this series pertain to Stevens's American Historical Nuggets, including manuscript and printed mock-ups of the title page and first page of the introduction. The papers also contain a manuscript of "Who Spoils our new English Books."
A group of 16 Letter and Account Books comprises the bulk of the collection. The volumes primarily contain outgoing business correspondence of Henry Stevens, related to his work as a bookseller and bibliographer in London, England. Recipients included John Carter Brown, Samuel Drake, William Deane, Charles B. Norton, and members of the Stevens family. The volumes also contain financial records.

The nation of Israel was in slavery in Egypt for 400 years. God hearken to their cry for freedom by permitting Moses to assume leadership role in Egypt. On assuming leadership he got insight to the reasons he was raised to assume such position.
It became clear to him that he was raised to emancipate Israel from captivity and colonialism. Based on this ground he undermines the political structure that brought him to power and choose to honour the will of God. The Scripture affirms that he choose to suffer affliction with his brethen than to enjoy the pleasure of Egypt. It was based on the decision to honour the will of God that Moses was recognized as a Great Man of God. Jesus affirms saying, he who is afraid of his life will loose it eventually.
Obedience to the will of God amidst threat of death is the greatest demonstration of Faith in God. Son of Man, will Jesus describe you as a patriot of faith? Faith is the ability to choose the will of God at the expense of our life. Examples are Moses, Rahab, Daniel, Shedrach, Meshach and Abednego. Faith in God transcends our ability to observe the 10 commandments of God. Faith in God is human ability to choose the will of God in crisis moment.
Son of Man, have you examined yourself or brainstormed on the reasons God made you to assume leadership role at this moment in Nigeria's political history? It would be disastrous if at the end God Almighty says, "Get behind me you hypocrite". Your leadership decision making power alignment with the will of God is the compass judgment of God. The greatness of Nigeria is in your pendulum. But am afraid that your inability to understand that God brought you to power for a specific assignment have eroded the plan of God.
You give more precedence to the political structure and God fathers who led you to power than the Almighty God who ordained you to power. You fear those who can kill only the body rather than the one who can kill both body and soul. God did not send you to power to complement political scores. But to emancipate the society from political gladiators and mediocrity. He ordained you to execute justice, peace and righteousness in our land. Unfortunately, justice has been perverted more in your reign, unrest and unrighteousness is on the increase in our land. Son of Man, your focus should be on how to please God and not your political father.
Moses chose to please God rather than please King Pharoh. Are you pleasing God or the political structure? It is my desire you trade the path of Moses who undermined Egypt political structure and oppose the will of the king in order to fulfill the will of God and the will of the people. There is a proverbial statement which says the will of the people is the will of God. Choose the will of God rather than political party will.


One of my favorite bloggers, Skittles has started a Tuesday meme. It is LOTS of fun-so you'll wanna join us right away! If you click on the Heads or Tails logo - it will take you to the post to tell you more about the meme.
This week's topic is Heads - Old *or* Tails - New.
My brain is not very creative today (I don't know what its problem is). So, I'm going to show you some of my new photos from yesterday's walks.
I was disappointed with this shot (and the others of this series), because the sun was shining through the clouds, and you could see the sun's rays shining down on the cattle. However, either I did something wrong, or my camera just didn't pick up the sun's rays like I was hoping. My new bird feeder (I got it for my birthday). I took this shot right after my first walk.
Heading to a new and warmer home in the south???
As always you have great photos :) I love the two different shots of the tree and bird feeder. I get a different feeling from each - both peaceful but different.
*agrees* The two shots of the tree and bird feeder are stunning. While the first one is more hopeful, I think I'm drawn more to the second one, at sunset. The colours are so rich and vibrant. Beautiful!
Beautiful "NEW" photos! I'm going to go online about 10 my time, 8 your time if you get a chance. Love Ya Dork!
Those are lovely. My favorite is the last one, beautiful colors.
I sent you an e-mail with an attachment. It's from idunoh at yahoo, just so you don't think it's spam, LOL.
Those are all just gorgeous shots. You are so talented with your camera!!!
My fave is the red...just beautiful!!!!! Thanks for posting the photos. I know what you mean about the sun's rays not quite coming out the way you wanted. I have a few of those myself!
I can see a little of what you were trying to capture in that first photo. Sometimes we get something unexpected, and it's just as nice was what we were trying for.
. . . Dallas Meow . . . . >^^< . . .
very nice - I'd like a nice walk . . .
Wow, the reds in the last picture are amazing! Great walk!
I think they a quite beautiful your photographs. I haven't got out with my camera much it is too cold.
the various colors of the sky are amazing aren't they?
Hi Misty. It must have been a wonderful walk. You inspired me to bring my camera next time I take a walk.
It's a lovely bird feeder. I love how you captured the changes in the sky as the afternoon passed.
Awesome photos here! Love the birds:)My Wordless Wednesday pics are up as well;-) Happy WW!
The last pic is lovely. No walks with my camera for me - the wind is shrieking outside, and it's raining heavily - ugh! Thanks for visiting my Heads or Tails, and my apologies for taking so long to repay the visit. Hope the weather's kinder where you are!

With their different styles and surreal minds they get their comedic claws stuck into the big issues of anxiety, identity, family dysfunction, unemployment and Paddington Bear. Come watch them dish out the jollies and maybe even see Phil finally tell a one-liner.

Q: How do I find a threshold to minimise some values? Relevant graph included I am trying to solve two sub problems based on this graph. My overarching problem is to predict the coordinates of a point, and give a confidence to the prediction. The y-axis is kind of arbitrary, with an absolute maximum value of 64, but no datapoint would ever plausibly reach that. You can interpret this graph as: the lower the error, the higher the confidence should be.
The two subproblems:

*

*Find a binary threshold for classification. I want to find a confidence value (y-axis) that minimises the error (x-axis). I want to apply this threshold during testing to classify predictions as "confident" or "not confident". This seems simple - what methods can I apply to achieve this?

*Transform the confidence (y-axis) value to a continuous scale to give a probability of being confident. This is difficult because what value should I consider 100% confident? From these samples the maximum confidence is 3, but the theoretical maximum is 4096. However, 3/4096 does not seem a good probability to reflect how confident the prediction is. What are some methods to solve this problem?

Eine Keratoplastik oder Hornhautplastik ist eine Operation der Hornhaut (Cornea), bei der entweder erkranktes Hornhautgewebe durch geeignetes Spendermaterial ersetzt wird (Transplantation) oder durch lokalisierte physikalische Einwirkung auf Hornhautgewebe eine Veränderung der Hornhautbrechkraft angestrebt wird, beispielsweise um Fehlsichtigkeiten zu reduzieren.

Arten
Das für die Operation benötigte Spendermaterial wird von einem menschlichen Hornhautspender gewonnen und in der Regel vor der Operation in einer Hornhautbank oder Augenbank aufbereitet.
Man unterscheidet verschiedene Arten der Keratoplastik:
 Die Thermokeratoplastik, bei der durch lokalisierte Wärmeeinwirkung die Hornhautkrümmung beeinflusst werden soll. Diese Operation ist ein refraktiver Eingriff und nicht auf Hornhautspendergewebe angewiesen.
 Die perforierende Keratoplastik, bei der alle Schichten der erkrankten Hornhaut in einem bulbuseröffnenden Eingriff mittels Trepanation entfernt werden und ein entsprechendes Hornhautscheibchen eines geeigneten Spenders eingefügt wird.
 Die lamelläre Keratoplastik, bei der einzelne Schichten isoliert verpflanzt werden. Beispielsweise wird bei einer so genannten Epikeratoplastik, vergleichbar mit einer Kontaktlinse, ein Hornhautscheibchen auf die Hornhaut aufgenäht.
Von einer tektonischen Keratoplastik spricht man, wenn Spendermaterial auf die Patientenhornhaut auf- oder eingenäht wird, um kleinflächige Defekte zu decken (z. B. Hornhautperforation). Wenn diese Form der Hornhauttransplantation notfallmäßig und bei noch entzündeten Hornhautverhältnissen durchgeführt werden muss (z. B. perforiertes Hornhautulkus), so spricht man von einer Keratoplastik .
Dieser Eingriff ist zumeist nur eine Übergangslösung ohne das Ziel Verbesserung der Sehschärfe, sondern dient primär dem Erhalt des Auges. Tektonische Keratoplastiken können sowohl perforierend als auch lamellär (in der Regel als Epikeratoplastik) durchgeführt werden.

Kontaktlinsenversorgung nach Keratoplastik
Das visuelle Ziel der Keratoplastik ist, dass der Betroffene ohne Sehhilfe gut sehen kann. Oft bleibt aber nach vollständiger Verheilung der Hornhaut ein irregulärer Astigmatismus übrig, welcher nur mit einer formstabilen Kontaktlinse ausgeglichen werden kann.

Geschichte
Die Idee der Hornhautübertragung vom Tier zum Menschen oder von Mensch zu Mensch ist ca. 200 Jahre alt. Formuliert wurde sie erstmals 1813 von Karl Gustav Himly. 1824 wurden zuerst von Franz Reisinger an Kaninchen perforierende Keratoplastiken vorgenommen. R. Kissam führte 1843 die erste perforierende Keratoplastik am Menschen durch. Arthur von Hippel führte dann lamelläre und perforierende Keratoplastiken mittels eines von ihm konstruierten Trepans durch, deren Resultate er 1886 der Ophthalmologischen Gesellschaft in Heidelberg präsentierte. Die erste perforierende Keratoplastik mit mittelfristig klarem Transplantat (über ein Jahr postoperativ) wurde 1905 von dem Wiener Augenarzt Eduard Zirm in Olmütz (Tschechien) durchgeführt. Durch Einführung und Verbesserung mikrochirurgischer Techniken im 21. Jahrhundert, wie beispielsweise des binokularen Mikroskops und des fortlaufenden monofilen Kunststofffadens, ist die Keratoplastik mittlerweile zu einer Standardoperation geworden. Heute ist die perforierende Keratoplastik weltweit die am häufigsten durchgeführte Gewebetransplantation.

Indikationen
 Hornhautdystrophie mit Beteiligung des Endothels (Prognose: gut)
 Primäre Erkrankungen: Fuchs-Endotheldystrophie (Prognose: gut)
 Sekundäre Erkrankungen: Bullöse Keratopathie nach intraokularen Eingriffen oder nach protrahiertem Glaukomanfall (Prognose: mäßig)
 Hornhautdystrophie mit Beteiligung des Stromas
 Keratokonus (Prognose: exzellent)
 Hornhautdystrophie mit Beteiligung des Epithels
 bröcklige Dystrophie, gittrige Dystrophie
 Hornhautnarben
 Nach Herpeskeratitis oder anderen Hornhautinfektionen (Prognose: mäßig)
 Nach scrophulöser Keratokonjunktivitis (Phlyktenulosa) (Prognose: gut)
 Nach Augenverletzung (Prognose: variabel) oder Verätzung des Auges (Prognose: schlecht)

Operation
Meist erfolgte die Keratoplastik in Retrobulbäranästhesie, wobei fünf Milliliter eines Lokalanästhetikums retrobulbär injiziert werden. Um den Glaskörperdruck zu senken, wird meist ein Okulopressor angelegt und 250 mg Acetazolamid intravenös verabreicht. Eine Intubationsnarkose ist bei sehr ängstlichen oder bei geistig behinderten Patienten erforderlich. Die Trepanation erfolgt meistens mit einem Handtrepan, zunächst für die Spenderhornhaut von innen her und danach für die Patientenhornhaut von außen. Das Transplantat wird meist zunächst mit vier Einzelknüpfnähten aus monofilem Nylonfaden der Stärke 10.0 an der 3-, 6-, 9- und 12-Uhr-Position fixiert. Danach wird in der Regel eine doppelt fortlaufende gekreuzte diagonale Naht nach Hoffmann mit zweimal acht Durchstichen gelegt. Vorteil dieser Nahttechnik ist, dass klaffende innere und äußere Wundränder und eine postoperative Fadendurchwanderung vermieden werden. Die Einzelknüpfnähte werden am Ende der Operation zumeist wieder entfernt. Die Operation dauert in geübter Hand meist etwa 45 Minuten. Die Entfernung des ersten fortlaufenden Fadens wurde nach frühestens vier bis sechs, die des zweiten nach frühestens 12 bis 18 Monaten vorgenommen. Erst nach dieser Zeit kann mit einer stabilen Refraktion gerechnet werden.

Neben der Trepanation durch einen Handtrepan besteht auch in einigen Zentren die Möglichkeit zur kontaktfreien Trepanation durch Excimerlaser. Vorteile hierbei sind geringere Verkippung, Torsion und bessere Adaptation des Transplantates.

Hornhautspende
Da die menschliche Hornhaut ein nicht durchblutetes Gewebe ist und das Hornhautendothel über das Kammerwasser ernährt wird, kann eine Hornhautentnahme am Hornhautspender bis zu 72 Stunden nach dem Tod erfolgen.
Es gibt zwei wesentliche Techniken zur Hornhautentnahme am Hornhautspender:

 Corneasklerale Technik: Hierbei wird unter möglichst sterilen Bedingungen eine ca. 15 mm große Scheibe an der Vorderseite des Auges trepaniert (Hornhaut und ein ca. 1–2 mm breiter Sklerarand). Das Auge als solches bleibt bestehen.

 Enukleation: Hierbei wird der gesamte Augapfel entnommen und eine passende Prothese eingesetzt. Die Hornhauttrepanation erfolgt dann unter sterilen Bedingungen in einer Hornhautbank.

Bei beiden Entnahmetechniken wird nach der Entnahme das Lid des Verstorbenen geschlossen. Es ist also im Regelfall nicht von außen zu erkennen, dass eine Hornhautspende erfolgt ist.

In aktiv an Tuberkulose Erkrankten können die Bakterien sogar in der Hornhaut nachgewiesen werden.

Komplikationen

Abstoßungsreaktionen (Immunreaktionen)
Abstoßungsreaktionen nach perforierender Keratoplastik treten normalerweise innerhalb der ersten fünf Jahre auf. Etwa 20 % sind betroffen. Frühsymptome sind Augentränen, Augenrötung und Sehverschlechterung. Wenn die Abstoßung früh erkannt und eine intensive Behandlung durchgeführt wird, kann in der Regel eine dauerhafte Transplantateintrübung (Weißfärbung) verhindert werden. Eine Abstoßungsreaktion führt aber dennoch zu einer erheblich verkürzten Lebensdauer des Transplantates.

Chronischer Endothelzellverlust

Die Endothelzelldichte von Hornhauttransplantaten nach perforierender Keratoplastik fällt aus noch ungeklärter Ursache kontinuierlich ab. Dieser postoperative Verlust an Transplantatendothelzellen liegt mit etwa 10 % jährlich deutlich über der natürlichen altersabhängigen Endothelzellverlustrate nicht transplantierter Hornhäute von nur 0,5 % pro Jahr. Folglich ist nicht auszuschließen, dass nach 15–20 Jahren aufgrund eines Versagens des Transplantatendothels öfter Folgekeratoplastiken notwendig werden könnten.

Weitere Eintrübungsursachen

 Spontanes Endothelversagen lange nach der Keratoplastik durch den idiopathischen Endothelzellverlust
 Oberflächliche Störungen des Transplantates
 Ulzera
 Herpeskeratitis
      Keratokonus
 Überwachsung durch Bindehautgewebe (Konjunktivalisation) etwa bei Limbusinsuffizienz
 Erhöhter Augendruck
 Rezidiv der Grunderkrankung

Soul Intent: The Drift
Interviews / D&B / Drifting / No Answers / The Fading Light / Exkursions / Soul Intent
Soul Intent's recent ep – the first on the massively forward-thinking Exkursions imprint – is all-enveloping from the off. So, in a similar spirit, we found out what propels him.
First up how do you check D&B, what do you listen to?
I listen to everything I'm sent. I try to be as opened minded as possible as you never know what kind of gem can be lurking in the inbox. There's a lot of good music around, from really deep and minimal stuff through to crazy amen choppage.
I'm a big fan of the very unique 'No Answers', it's all about those fantastic contrasts, when did the tune come up?
I just had a really inspired few weeks in the studio. 'No Answers' and 'Drifting' were written very close together, not sure what mystical forces were aligning but there was a definite short period of writing some of the deepest music I've ever written.
You just have to make the most of it while it lasts.
So where do you produce, what sort of space have you got? I imagine with this amount of space in the music there must be room to create.
Typical home studio really, but weirdly I think all the shit it there actually makes the room sound better than my old place in Nottingham. I've seen worse, and actually the last 12 months have probably been some of the most productive months that I've ever had. Moving to a new place, new scenery and a even quieter social life or all contributing factors I'm sure.
Your music has a lot of great, unexpected atmospheres, so what's some influences you got? Really amazed by 'The Fading Light', as an example.
I've always had it in my head that I didn't want to be one of these producers who just makes the same tune over and over again.
How have you changed as a producer?
I definitely got into a bad spot musically a couple of years ago. I think my head just wasn't really in it, I was trying to make music to please other people which is always a bad idea. Now I've gone back to just making things for me and it's proving to be a beneficial change of mindset.
I know I'm still very focused around D&B but I try and listen to other genres of music. In the car I'll stick a random radio station on just to see if I hear something new that I like.
I think it changed when I was just a DJ to DJ/Producer… as I'm not a musician and play a instrument getting tracks finished takes me a while and eats up most of the spare time.
So what in D&B and electronic music really caught you, really inspired you?
I'd normally just tape whatever my brother had bought at the time, and as this was in the early 90s it was mostly rave, jungle, techno, and ambient. Labels like Suburban Base, R&S, and XL Recordings featured a lot around that time. My brother and I were massive Prodigy fans for years, I even dyed my hair yellow when I was at college.
When I was about 14 someone at school played me a recording of a DJ Randall set from Dreamscape and the vibe and atmosphere just instantly made me want to be a DJ. Never looked back since really.
Recently the album thats really grabbed me was Synkro's Changes LP on Apollo, R&S's ambient offshoot label. It really reminds me of the old Global Communication ambient stuff.
It's very much along on the vibe of 76:14 which again was something my brother picked up and then I stole it when it was out one day.
Tell me how 'Drifting' came about? An astonishing, lethal track, never heard a vibe like this before. REALLY caught me.
Well thanks for the kind words. It's definitely one of the tracks I'm most proud of. Not because its really technical or mixed down well, it's just the vibe is exactly what I was trying to get… though maybe I wasn't 'trying' and that's why it just came out so quickly and on point.
Often when starting to write a track I want to get a good balance of something deep and musical but still dancefloor. I think 'Drifting' is both of these and will hopefully sound fresh in five year's time.
What's something in the production process that you do that you'd like to pass on, that's unique and – big or small – makes a difference.
Always A/B your tracks with a well produced track on a similar vibe to yours. So many times I thought a track was finished, started sending it out on aim then would go to mix it for the first time and realise it sounded really flat or the levels weren't right.
Best advice, if you think its finished leave it or a day or two and then go back and listen to it with fresh ears. Have a mix with it and make sure the levels and eq sit well with other mastered tracks. If it ticks all these boxes then you can be confident it's ready to send out.
Gig-wise where would you love to play?
I think Tokyo is my number one dream gig location, it's such a futuristic place that I imagine it to be the perfect backdrop for underground electronic music.
What is a tune you'd cite as an inspiration?
There's loads but Dillinja 'Angels Fell'. Dillinja was the master of marrying deep synth and pads with massive beats and bass. The clashing of two opposites but making it worth, I think that's always in my head whenever I'm making music.
There's probably a little Dillinja influence in every tune I've ever written, just more obvious in some than others.
What can we look forward to next?
2016 looks good so far, I have my first 12″ for Tempo dropping in a mouth or so featuring 3 really strong tracks. I've literally just signed a 12″ to U.S label Prestige Music which will hopefully be out before the summer, and there's another sub-label for my label Lossless.
I don't want to give much away just yet but it will be focusing around those early 90s influences I mentioned earlier.
I've also got confirmed DJ dates in Amsterdam end of Feb, London end of April and Antwerp early August.

A very cute, stylish, but poisonous, Blue Jeans Frog snapped having a rest on a tree trunk on our travels in Costa Rica a few years ago.
On our recent holiday to Kerala, India, we were lucky enough to take an early morning safari cruise on the stunning man-made lake in Periyar National Park. Although the wildlife proved elusive, the breathtaking scenery more than made up for it.
A couple of years ago we spent a wonderful long weekend discovering the delights of Marrakech. Bahia Palace, with it's exquisite architecture and decorations was an oasis of peace away from the madness of Jamaa El-Fnaa (which we loved, by the way). It is most definitely worth a visit. These are just a few examples of its gorgeousness!


It went on to explain how visitors hoodwinked by these fake sites were pumped for personal and financial information. One had already been "disrupted", but there were many others out there that the organisation was working to take down.
Fraudulent websites set up to defraud people seeking help against cyber-fraud: it's the kind of story that transcends Monty Python and heads straight into the realms of Kafka. Unfortunately, set against the current state of the internet, it is not exceptional. In fact, it is possible to say that a strange nexus of deceit and credulity powers vast portions of the online world.
And this is not just a case of good systems being manipulated by technologically adept hustlers. We are also talking about systems that work exactly as they were meant to. Online businesses collect massive amounts of data about their users, but they rely on us continuing to believe that this is essentially risk-free – even when we know it isn't. Online reviews have been proven time and again to be notoriously unreliable, and yet we still refer to them constantly.
From social media apps and e-commerce to the latest digital start-ups, everything is part of this grubby, unstoppable economy. Many of us have heard about it, and yet we are still willing to suspend our disbelief every time we go online. To that extent, we are all pretty gullible.
To see how ripe for abuse many of these systems are, take Oobah Butler's restaurant, The Shed At Dulwich. In late 2017, it was ranked number one out of London's 18,092 dining establishments on the TripAdvisor website, with 96 five-star reviews.
While the name may have given it the air of a fashionable London eaterie – think distressed wood, exposed brickwork, small plates, high prices – it was exactly what it said it was: a shed in an overgrown garden in south London. Mr Butler had gamed the TripAdvisor platform, manipulated social media and pulled the wool over the eyes of online punters. He had won his rating with fake reviews and without ever serving a single paying customer. Finally, when he did decide to open, he dished up ready-meals from a budget frozen food outlet.
According to Mr Butler's social media accounts, the whole farrago is now detailed in a book that will be published next month. Or will it? Frankly, who can tell any more. It's zooming up the Amazon pre-order charts, either way.
Back in October, the consumer group Which? released a report describing how fake review factories run via Facebook manufacture misleading five-star ratings that are then posted on Amazon. In September, an Italian court jailed and fined a man €8,000 for selling fake reviews to hundreds of hospitality firms.
That the internet is filled with deception is not news. As Max Read recently wrote in New York Magazine, roughly half of all online activity is powered by bots. Every moment of every day, these insidious applications go about their business of ripping to shreds any legitimacy associated with usage data, traffic and advertising analytics. This is widely known, and yet multi-million-dollar business models are still based on such statistics – it's almost as if the whole industry is part of one giant scam. And bots can now do plenty worse than that. These days, they can dynamically generate content, specifically designed to target unwitting users, their unprotected computers and their valuable personal data.
What is troubling is not just that there are systems of falsehood designed to take advantage of the gullible, but that an entire economy of gullibility has been built, normalised and is now being used against us. In May last year, following the Cambridge Analytica furore – in which it was revealed that personal data from millions of user profiles had been harvested without people's consent and used to target them with political advertising and fake news – Mark Zuckerberg said that Facebook would launch a "clear history" function to expunge records of user behaviour from company servers.
Little more was heard of it until December, when Facebook told the Recode website that the process was proving more complicated than it thought, and that it might be available for testing in the spring. The problem for Facebook – and for many other internet companies – it appears, is that the willingness of its users to freely hand over large amounts of personal data is central to the way it operates. Most online platforms are now far too entrenched in the gullibility economy to wean themselves off it.
What is doubly tragic is that more and more people want to jump on this bandwagon. Those in power are all responding to this economy not with caution but with alacrity. After all, Cambridge Analytica's major clients were not consumer brands, but political parties and national governments. In an environment of such astonishing, normalised fakery, Mr Butler's restaurant prank and Action Fraud sound less like amusing stories than proof of concept for manipulation on a far greater scale.


This is Day 4 of 7--Your Almost There!!!!!!
The power of better health through detoxification is yours. We should pursue good health aggressively by looking carefully at our diet and liefestyle. A healthy future is in your hands.
Juice fasting can quickly allow you to shed any extra toxic fat that your body may be carrying. In addition, you can avvoid a water-only fasting trap of which many people are not even aware.
What is the trap? Water only fasting can actually cause you to gain significant amounts of weight after the fast! That's is one of the reasons that a fasting program of specially prepared juices is more practical and has a greater benefit. Also, on a specially prepared juice fast it is easier to be successful because your body will not crave nutrition in the same way as a fast where you are only drinking water.
Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did not eat nothing...(Luke 4:2).
And Jesus answered him and said "It is written, that man shall not live by bread alone, but every word of God." (Luke 4:4) .
What does it mean to overcome the flesh? In simple terms it means to humple or discipline yourself. In Psalm 69:10, David writes that fasting "chastened" his soul. Chastening is a type of discipline that refines and purifies. It is a time of pruning back the dead areas of your life so that God can renew life and purpose within you.
What are some areas where you have been lacking dicipline and that you now sense God leading you to prune? It may be studying the word more, weight control, or other areas of dicipline needed.
As you near the completion of this physical fast, think about other areas of your life that could benefit from a "fast." Are there emotions and feelings that you would like to eliminate from your life (fear, anger, anxiety, unforgiveness, depression, grief, guilt, shame, etc.)?
What habits or actions keep you from total health--body, mind, and spirit?
Dear Lord, I thank You for giving me the power to have victory over my flesh as I continue with my fast. I pray that You will show me other areas of my life that may need to be "fasted" or abstained from so that I may achieve total health in my Mind, Body, and Spirit. In Jesus Name amen.
